A Hiking Ago I Went


I just returned from a brief excursion to do a few day hikes. I was a bit surprised how easily I accomplished the hikes. We hiked to a secluded falls which was in a tropical like setting and enjoyed a nice lunch at the base of the falls. Very cool. Another of the hikes we did is quite popular and even paved. We did it mostly because we were passing by the mountain, otherwise I enjoy the trails that are less populated. As I hiked the continuous half mile incline I didn't feel even a little urge to stop and rest. I have to admit it made me feel good seeing other people struggle more than I did. This is probably not the best feeling to have. I should just be happy about my accomplishment and not need others struggles to reassure me.
While hiking I thought about camp. I am sure if a "hiking counselor" position was open I would be up there right now. But to be honest if I was a staff coordinator for the camp I would probably have worries about hiring me for the job, although in reality I think I would do well. But I know I lack experience and probably fit better into other positions. I would still love to go back, especially as a hiking guide. I guess there is always summer 2007. :)
